Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: OGM at 100% against MapGenie's 55%. MapGenie's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (207 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. OGM sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MapGenie sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MapGenie holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapGenie has 207 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of OGM's written reviews are positive against 55% of MapGenie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OGM ships an update every 2 months, MapGenie every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
